Procedures for the School Classroom

All MK rules are to be followed while at school. The choice to disobey these rules will result in the consequences outlined within the Residential Handbook. In addition to the general rules, other procedures are to be followed in the classroom. Neglecting to follow these procedures will similarly result in consequences.

Only the person who earns the money is able to spend it; therefore, attempts to use it for gambling, buying things from residents, or for any other purpose outside of school would be pointless. The general ways to earn money are outlined below:
